| Embassy Review : |
My interview went very quickly. I have schedule of 830AM at the US embassy. I was thinking what the heck, I will be there as early as 4AM! And by all means I am the first one there. I talked to the security guard and the told me that they wont allow applicants til 530AM. We made a deal that even though I am at the 830AM schedule, he will let me in early. So mom and I ended up hanging out at Yellow cab and getting “cappuccino” at 7-11 (haha) and went back at 530AM. There are already more than a dozen people ahead of me but all of them have the 630AM schedule. The guard still let me in so I am feeling great that I am the first one in the 830AM slot. We were ushered inside at promptly 615AM and I fell in line to get a number – I was number 6007! Meaning I am the #7th on the Immigrant visa line! wootwoot! I went to submit the rest of the documents, got my fingerprints scanned. I have to wait for about 2 hours before the consul interview and they called me at 810AM and I am the first one to get interviewed on the immigrant visa applicants! 20 minutes earlier than my schedule! I was in and out of there in less then 5 minutes! The moment that he said, “OK, Mrs. Herron, your visa is approved! Congratulations, you are now to proceed to window Y to pay for the courier of your passport & visa.” OMG I thought a ton was lifted off my shoulders! I am going to be with my pudding!! Thank God! It took awhile to make the necessary courier payment coz window Y opened late. I was out of the embassy at exactly 9AM and the next thing I know I was tapping my mom’s shoulder at Starbucks and giving her a hug! Gosh it felt so good to walk out of there with that pink slip!
My parents are the best that I could ask for. They have been there for me this whole time and my mom even went with me to the interview and waited for almost 4 hours outside just so I could have company right after.
Okay before I end this note – here are some of the stuff that the American Consul asked me. I thought they are going to ask about my husband’s taxes (ITR) coz I have no clue on how the US tax system works (I think no one does haha). I am happy about the turnout.
* What’s your full name?
* What’s your date of birth?
* What is your husband’s full name?
* What does he do?
* Have you traveled outside of the Philippines other than your travels to the US?
* What happened with your canceled tourist visa?javascript:emoticon(' ')

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
